Agreed, this kind of catastrophic inability to resist at any level by Democratic politicians and especially Democratic leadership DIRECTLY led to these murders being inevitable. I am not kidding, the inaction of politicians like Chuck Shumer and Hakeem Jeffries directly led to the murder of Renee Good and Alex Jeffrey Pretti.
Blood is on Tim Walz's hands for not calling in the National Guard sooner as well.
The fascists were always going to choose violence and thus the blood is on the hands of the Democratic establishment for not believing what the rest of us knew, capitulation to Republicans and fascists was always going to end in violent jackbooted thugs executing US citizens in broad daylight for no reason other than to instill fear and terror and hopefully justify more violence.
All the Democratic Party can say for this most awful evolution of US politics it is that they waited until the evidence was undeniable to believe the people who were saying the threat was existential to our democracy.
